Johnson and Johnson decided to buy the largest European biotechnology company, the Swiss Actelion for 30 billion dollars. That is, each one share
they want to buy from the shareholders for 280 dollars or 273 euro or 280 francs. Though it the shares of Actelion 26.1.2017 jumped +20%. If the
purchase of the company will be really allowed, the shares of Actelion will be expensive like a pig, P/E 34, P/B 21, P/S 14. Actelion produces mainly
the medicine against high blood pressure.

Tesco has announced to buy for 3.7 billion pounds the Booker Group, the largest operator of cash and carry stores in Britain. Shareholders will be
happier for the news that the retail chain wants to pay again 2017 the dividend. The shares of Tesco jumped +10% in the morning of 27.1.2017. Booker
Group is the largest operator of the cash and carry stores in Britain. His customers are restaurants, shops, bars, together 700 000 shops and
establishments. The supermarket giant Tesco expects from the connection with Booker that he will be the leading player in the business with food in
the UK.

Today's valuation of shares of the 3. most expensive power plant in the world - National Grid - United Kingdom: P/E 14, P/B 2.8, P/S 2.4.

The largest energy company is not this one with the highest market capitalization. The largest power plant in the world is this one with the highest
annual revenue, or with the largest number of employees. E.ON has 56.490 employees. Duke Energy has 29.188 employees. Iberdrola 28.836 employees.
National Grid 24.274 employees.

Only one of these power stations I own. One with the favorable valuation. And I wanna hold these stocks forever only for dividends.

The shares of Snap are extremely expensive, 27x overpriced with P/S 54 and P/E N.A. (negative). Investment banks want to earn so much money as
possible, they take for the help with IPO a few percent from the capital raised from the stock exchange and so the banks (Goldman Sachs, Deutsche
Bank, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley) lie, that the company Snap Inc. has a stock market value of 22 billion USD, when the stock price will be 16
USD. The revenue of Snap 2016 reached 405 million USD and the net profit was a loss of 515 million USD. It results in P/S 54 and P/E N.A. On the stock
exchange will be sold only a part of the shares, shares for 3 billion USD, most of the shares hold the earlier owners, but we count the market
capitalization of Snap Inc. 22 billion USD, the sold and held shares together.
Only amateurs would buy these overpriced shares. In order to achieve the correct valuation of shares and P/S 2, the revenue should quickly grow from
405 million USD to 11 billion USD a year.
When Warren Buffett bought 1988-1989 shares of Coca Cola, also he took into account the profit and sales growth in future years, but he bought shares
of Coca Cola with the P/S 1.8 and P/E 14.5. Many amateurs would say that technology stocks can be attractive with higher P/S and P/E than the
attractively valued non-technological. shares. But why to buy so expensive stocks, when we find today also technology stocks with P/S 2.0 and P/E
11.
If people would not be cheated from the banks and from the analysts, the right price of shares Snap would be 0.59 USD. The correct price of the
company Snap Inc. would be 814 million USD. And the ratio price/revenue = P/S 2.0.

The silly stocks of the president Donald Trump
Therefore, only the 14 largest stock positions.
If is it a dividend stock, each one gives him more than 100.000 dollars of dividends per year:
Alphabet, Apple, Caterpillar, Celgene, General Electric, Gilead Sciences, J.P. Morgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, McKesson, Microsoft, Nike,
PepsiCo, Phillips 66, Visa.
Only the Johnson & Johnson stock from the list of Trumps stocks I would buy too, if the stock would be cheaper with P/E, P/B and P/S.

I spoke yesterday with a man from London about supermarkets Tesco, Aldi and Lidl

He said that the supermarket Tesco sells several times more kinds of food than Aldi, foods have the same quality in Tesco as in Aldi, prices from
Tesco went down, so some of goods in Tesco are so cheap as in Aldi. The situation at Tesco will be better, soon will be paid again a good dividend.
The man buys food in London rather in Tesco than in Aldi or Lidl.
So I'll stop to consider, whether Tesco shares hold forever for their dividends, or prefer to sell, when Aldi and Lidl harm Tesco in the UK. And I
will keep the stock Tesco forever in the belief that it will be back on its historic high and the dividend will reach again the yield of 4%.

Picture : the Brazil's stock index Bovespa 15.5.2017-19.5.2017

Brazil's stock index Bovespa plummets on Thursday -8.8% and real suffers the largest drop in 14 years. As allegations that president Michel Temer
condoned bribes to silence a key witness deflated investor optimism about the prospects for his ambitious pension and labor reform agenda. People say
that the president Temer is as corrupt as the Mrs. president before him. In Brazil there are now demonstrations for the president's drop out the
function. BVSP closed -8.8% lower, its biggest daily decline since the 2008 financial crisis. Trading had been halted for an hour after a 10 percent
drop triggered a circuit-breaker mechanism.http://money.cnn.com/data/world_markets/bovespa/

Don't be crazy! The revenue declines since 10 years, net profit is negative since years, ROE is negative. No dividend is paid.
With the P/B 31 is the stock 10x overpriced. Liabilities : shareholders equity = 87:12 means too high debt.
The company AMD is headed toward bankruptcy. And you'd like to buy the stock.http://financials.morningstar.com/ratios/r.html?t=AMD&re...

My best "value investing" tip for 2015: the German stock Hochtief from MDAX. From the 2.Jan.2015 to the high in May 2017, it grew 201%.
The tips for 2018 I will publish in November or December 2017.

My second best "value investing" tip for 2015: the German stock Lufthansa from DAX. If bought on 2.Jan.2015, in the low of 2016 was it -29% in red.
But on 12.Sep.2018 was it +64% in green. So don't use stop loss orders and wait some years the profit!

Amazon is investigated yet for 3 years by the EU Commission for the tax fraud on sales in Europe.
The Apple already has been convicted to pay 13 billion euros to the tax office in Ireland for the tax fraud on sales in Europe.
For the billion tax frauds the bosses of Amazon and Apple belong in jail for several years and some billions from their personal accounts they should
pay for charitable purposes.
I would not buy the shares of these companies cheating with taxes.

The General Electric (GE) shares were good only for fast daily speculation on Friday 20.10.2017. Against the closing price of Thursday, the first
stock price was 6.3% down on Friday on the New York Stock Exchange and the shares returned in green during the working time of the NYSE. The stock
declined in the morning due to a bad profit announcement in the last quarter.
But the General Electric shares are not good for a few days or years. In the past 5 years, the profit fell 5% annually. That in he future 5 years will
increase the profit of GE, we cannot believe to analysts.https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GE/analysts?p=GE
The General Electric concern is as ill as Siemens. The production in costly countries is shutting down, employees are losing work, produced will be
cheaply in south Asia. But if General Electric and Siemens would produce in north Africa, Africans could stay there and not move to Europe. General Electric stock on NYSE

Old FrÃ¤ulein Barbara makes advertising on the biotechnology stock Gilead Sciences. But it is ugly investment. The stock Gilead Sciences is too
expensive with P/S 3.7 and P/B 4.7 and the analysts expect that the earnings will go down -8% annually in the next 5 years. And so the stock has
potential to go down the next 5 years. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GILD/analysts?p=GILD

Celgene Corp. (CELG). In October, the stock lost 36%, but Celgene is still too expensive and no BUY. With P/E 31, P/B 9.5, P/S 6.6 is it 3x overvalued
and misses the dividend.

"I don't understand, if its so undervalued why does it keep going down?"
Tom H.

The Century Link (CTL) is heading for bankruptcy. The past 5 years, the net income fell on average -5% annually, the next 5 years is expected that the
income will go down on average -27% per annum. So the dividend yield 15% is no satisfaction - maybe it will not be paid, or after dividend you will
sell the stock with -30% loss. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CTL/analysts?p=CTL
